In my opinion, festivals and cultural practices celebrated and preserved years after years are the most important cultural identifiers.<\/p>\n Through festivals, we want to express our unity as well as cultural identifier. Originally, festivals are special occasions when people at a particular place stop working in order to celebrate parties or events. They are often connected with religious beliefs of a specificgroupofpeopletothankGodsand ancestors for good harvests, fortune, and happiness.<\/p>\n Along with festivals, cultural practices are unique ways of expressing who we are and what country or culture we belong to. These are traditionally considered the right things to do in a community. For example, Vietnamese people usually go to pagodas on first days of New Year to pray for good health and happiness. Although we are now in modern time, these traditions are well preserved respectably as a cultural stereotype.<\/p>\n As people all over the world become closer and closer, we share our festivals and cultural practices – the most important features. We organise international festivals and take part in various kinds of cultural events in other countries. This is always the meaningful way of identifying, sharing and preserving cultures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1.\u00a0Work in pairs.
